Faiza Hussain project 1 Step 4

From this project, I have learned about how critical you have to be when inking. For clients and your future career, you have to make sure that if you use ink that there aren’t any white or lines showing. I also learned about how to tell if there are lines since I didn’t know that lines also include shapes if not filled in. The biggest difficulty I had was with the ambiguous picture because you have to make sure that it was 50/50 and had made a lot of mistakes when doing so.

Picture 1

Swirl – obvious

This picture is obvious because it’s a glue splatter kind of picture. The picture has a 70/30 FG and BG ratio. I believe this was created by a plumber, after finishing his job, the left over silicone on this hand, he wiped it on this wall creating this silicone swirl.

Picture 2

Splatter – Ambiguous

This picture is obvious because you can tell its a splatter on a wall. The picture has an 50/50 ratio of FG and BG. I believe someone was just messing around and the pint roller accidentally catch the wall, creating this splatter. The image consists of geometric shapes.

 

Picture 3

Running dog- Obvious

This is a chip on the side of a pole I saw at a car garage. I believe the chip was created over time due to the weather, or it could be that someone peeled it off. The picture consists of geometric shapes. I believe this image is ambiguous because it has a 70/30 ration.

 

Picture 4

Flower on the wall – Obvious.

The Flower on the wall picture is an obvious image, it displays a white flower with a yellow button in the center sticking on a red wall. The picture consists of shapes such as circles and squares, it also consists of geometric shapes as well as organic shapes.

 

Picture 2

Brushes – ambiguous

This picture is ambiguous because the black rectangle looks like its hovering over the white brushes. The picture shows two brushes one at the bottom and one at the top with a black rectangle in the middle. The shapes I the picture are organic.

This image requires alt text, but the alt text is currently blank. Either add alt text or mark the image as decorative. This image requires alt text, but the alt text is currently blank. Either add alt text or mark the image as decorative.

 

This project was pretty interesting. It was nice to learn about negative space, portions, foreground/background and the relationship the two have with each other. The most useful thing I’ll be taking from this project is how to properly manipulate the brush. I’m not perfect, but it is a process. For the next project I’ll most likely apply patience! Because this project took alot of patience and thinking.

Here are some of my thumbnails and experimental processes while doing the project. I had some difficulties wih the ink itself, trying to make it appear as one solid color due to the medium I was using. Unfortunately I did not take a picture of my final draft form before adding ink onto the final pieces.
